Daredevils of all ages, shapes and sizes are being invited to follow in the footsteps of Harry Potter by taking part in a charity abseil at Alnwick Castle this Sunday.

The efforts of the intrepid abseilers will boost the coffers of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

"We are hoping that the chance to abseil down the walls of the castle that featured in the Harry Potter movie will capture people's imaginations right across the North," said trust fundraiser Tina Johnstone.
